A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!
"Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill pail." George Orwell.

from the mouths of babes!

It’s a well known fact that most of the people in advertising are wankers.
Whilst if they are senior management of a BDA and BDHC, they are most definitely
AdHo’s. But occasionally some of us get together and do something worthwhile for
society in general. It gives us something to talk about while scarfing a couple
of dozen Belons washed down with a gallon or two of Montrachet at Balthazar. So,
I was pleasantly surprised to come across this rather splendid piece of
film created by some of the lads at Goodby, Silverstein + Partners. Take
note. This is not a GS+P production, and is purely a personal effort put
together by the following.

Words: Jeff Goodby. AD: Rich Silverstein and Tim Green. Music: David
Michel-Ruddy. Cast: Local kids bribed with candy and lots of booze (Just kidding
on the last bit, Jeff!)

Watch it and compare it to most of the abysmal shit we are currently
subjected to during this election cycle.
